We are a local business that provides website designer skills to varied businesses in Lincolnshire, and throughout the UK. We also host websites ourselves, as well and provide SEO services and Social Media Management. We are a 'digital company'.

Wordpress is one of our key services: in Wordpress Website Design, as well as Wordpress Training which we do onsite, or locally at convenient locations.

Our business has been active for just over 10 years, and is still going strong, and is the choice for companies wanting a fine service, fast service, and the best websites.

The skills we employ are in social media knowledge. Knowing how to set up channels, manage channels, and develop growth. Skills in SEO, to boost Google Ranking both in website speed and deep internal code that helps grow a website. Our Director has been in website design from basic HTML up to the latest system for over 17 years.

Why would someone want to work for 79DESIGN? To work for a vibrant company that makes the Customer Come First. To provide the customer who has their website, SEO or social media with us, with the finest fast service. Some businesses will reply within a few days. We usually reply the same day, and in plain English.

Every company has their own brand, and the exciting thing for us is to develop a website and manage one that meets their brand. Their Design. Their outlook – all on screen. If you have a website about healthcare products, the website will look so different from one that is 'big and punch' for a Motorcycle sales, or a local museum cafe.

Technology is also moving quickly, so we enjoy looking into these technologies and trying them out. If they work, we go with it. It's exciting to see how these changes can project a company's website performance and other areas.

What do we do? Barkston Refinishing is a traditional bodyshop. That means that we are able to repair anything that is part of or attached to the vehicle body. This includes bonnets, roofs, glass, wings, doors, quarter panels, boot lids, sills, door mirrors you name it!

All productive staff have been apprentice trained and qualified to city & guilds / NVQ3.

Meet the team:

David (Company Director) has been working on cars since the age of 11 when he first got behind the steering wheel of a 1956 Morris Isis and learned to drive around the yard at the family home. Apprenticed in 1971 for five years and still learning 37 years later , proud to have worked with some real tradesmen. During that time the job has seen many changes mostly good, but sadly some things not so. Every day brings a new challenge, sometimes frustration, but always satisfaction and pride.

Andy has shadowed his brother Dave since he left school with a few variations of employers but shares the same love of the job. He joined Barkston Refinishing in May 1983 and celebrates 35 years with the company this year.

Paul son of David was born to spray. Loves to paint something different and wants to hear from you! Normally nobody sees the efforts of his labour as his job is to repair the car so that no one can tell its been done. Give him something different to do and make him happy!

Rosemarie married David in 1977 and still loves him. – what a woman! Rosemarie mans the office on a Friday and generally looks after the money. She is a pussycat most of the time but is feared in accounts departments and by debtors who dare to exceed our credit terms without telling her

Adam has loved classic cars every since he was 11 when he built a 1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500 from a bare shell upwards and every since he was ready to do anything with a car from learning how to paint it to how to do bodywork on it from welding to panel beating, Adam is our apprentice, joined in September 2016 and is making a good start to his career

Boston College is part of the public sector. This means that our focus is on being a positive part of the local community and enabling people to make the most of their lives. Many of our former students tell us that the college has changed their lives.

Many people would think of a College only employing teachers or lecturers but we have a very wide variety of roles at Boston College. In addition to our qualified academic managers and teaching staff these include learner support staff, counsellors, vocationally qualified technicians and qualified professionals in roles such as finance, funding, estates, health and safety and human resources. All staff are expected to put the well-being and development of the learners as their first priority as they carry out their roles. Extensive training and support is provided to help people excel in their roles and ensure we all reach our potential.

FE is a remarkable sector with constant new challenges and our supportive culture of respect and inclusion with a diverse range of colleagues from all backgrounds make Boston College a great place to work.

Butlins

A chain of large holiday camps in the United Kingdom. Butlins was founded by Billy Butlin to provide affordable holidays for ordinary British families in Skegness.

Butlins is one of the most recognised brands in the UK holiday market, offering short breaks all year round at three great British seaside resorts. Our founder, Sir Billy Butlin, opened his first resort in Skegness in 1936. Right from the start his aim was to bring colour and happiness to the lives of the nations’ hard working families.

To fulfil this promise to his guests, he knew there should be ‘someone to look after them always’. So, our famous Redcoats were born, welcoming guests with a friendly smile, easing them into their holiday mood with a helping hand and a cheery word. To this day, our Redcoats take centre stage, but we believe everyone on the Butlins team should share this sunny disposition; a ‘nothing’s too much trouble’ attitude aimed at relaxing our guests and making them feel cared for.

Our three resorts in Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness attract over 1.5 million guests every year, with many guests returning year after year. We know it’s our teams true intent to delight that brings them back. This is why we make it our top priority to hire the right attitude; those with natural ability to ‘host’ regardless of their role within the business.

At Carrington, we're driven by PR that’s profitable. We love great coverage (and coffee!), have a great atmosphere in the office and take everyone's ideas on board.

Being based in Lincoln is also great, because we're on the doorstep of other startups and long-standing businesses, while being able to travel easily to rural locations, larger cities and even London.

PR isn’t the glamorous show-biz profession people think it is, but it is a great industry for creativity. No day is the same in PR. It’s a great profession to get into for anyone looking to turn their curiosity and communication skills into a career. It’s a dynamic, fast-paced industry that keeps us on our toes.

PR is also unique because there are plenty of opportunities for growth and progression. Just as society and the media landscape is changing rapidly, the PR is also changing and evolving quickly too as we make sure that we can get our clients the best coverage.

With a high focus on forward thinking and maintaining a reputable profile in an ever-changing industry, Dalehead Food's values reflect providing the best possible service to its customers, embracing creativity and innovation, and being a great company to work for.

As an ever-expanding and developing organisation, there are many roles within Dalehead Foods that cater to a range of skills and abilities. This, along with a culture focused on training and development, presents countless opportunities for those that join the organisation to expand their horizons and experience new roles or develop new skills that they may not have considered before.

With production at the forefront of Dalehead Food's recruitment focus, there are positions available throughout the entire process, beginning at Dalehead's BQP farm all the way through to dispatch as our product makes its way to supermarket shelves. Operatives within production environments are taught by dedicated trainers to make their way through graded positions which include learning knife skills, how to operate specialised machinery, and, of course, how to butcher meat to the highest quality and to the needs and requirements of our customers.

Outside of production, a huge support system exists housing departments such as Health and Safety, Technical, Human Resources, Finance, Engineering and Planning. They act as the backbone of the organisation who, in return, offer dedicated development and further opportunities for those wishing to take them. One of our most exceptional development opportunities is our Apprenticeship scheme which has seen a number of successful candidates progress through their qualifications and go on to higher levels whilst joining the business and developing their skills further both in and out of production environments including Butchery, Abattoir, Engineering, HR, and Finance, with Health and Safety and Technical Apprentices soon to be joining certain sites.

Engineering UTC Northern Lincolnshire

Engineering UTC Northern Lincolnshire, is a non-selective, publicly funded school for 13-19 year olds that aims to deliver well-rounded students into the engineering and technology industries through a specialist STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) education. With a focus on connecting education to industry, students receive an innovative concept of learning that combines technical, practical and academic learning. By doing so, it provides students with something more than the traditional GCSE and A Level curriculum. Exposing individuals to real-industry projects and industry experts, enables them to progress into their dream careers by gaining the skills, experience, knowledge, qualifications and confidence required by todays employers.

Opened in September 2015, the ENL UTC £12m campus is set in the heart of Scunthorpe town centre on Carlton Street, close to both bus and train stations. The campus contains some of the most up-to-date, cutting edge engineering, scientific and computer facilities in the country that provide engaging workshop spaces to learn alongside of the theoretical work.

There are currently around 50 UTCs throughout England that are spearheading a new approach to teaching engineering and technical skills to schoolchildren around the UK. Each UTC has been established where employers need them most and where there are pronounced skill gaps. This is what makes the ENL UTC so unique within the region, allowing the next generation of workers to get much sought after skill sets to make that rapid transition into the workplace.

As the ENL UTC is currently in it's third year, the school is continuing to grow. At the moment we employ around 28 members of staff including both teaching and support staff.

Every staff member employed at the school is passionate about not only their job role but also the schools vision and ethos. Staff do not raise their voices, the school does not have an isolation system and we respect the students as much as we would like them to respect us. The ENL UTC is very focused on the individuals and building those relationships.

From a recent staff survey it stated that 95% agreed or strongly agreed that the UTC was a great place to work, 100% agreed that the UTC has a great vision and that the staff force is well led, and the average staff morale was 8.73 out of 10.

Our staff members believe that there is a sense of belonging when working at the ENL UTC and due to the unique learning environment it allows them to praise and acknowledge students successes and progression.

My job role is as the ENL UTC Marketing and Student Recruitment Officer, and I love my job because every day is different. Not only do I plan strategy for the year, manage all digital platforms and arrange literature, I also get to work closely with students and industry partners to create a sense of engagement throughout the community. Every day I am involved in an activity, event, workshop etc. that engages the students to be more involved in promoting their school.

Recently we have had permission to open the school up to a year 9, meaning that the ENL UTC is one of the first UTCs in the country to be able to do this.

We are continuously progressing and opening up the campus to new, relevant industry machinery for the curriculum as well as engaging more with the local community, showcasing our student talents.

The Vision of Househam

The challenges faced by agriculture are massive. The ever increasing world population relies on the food agriculture produces and this represents a challenge for the industry, globally, unlike any other industry has hitherto faced.

However, bringing more and more land into agricultural use can have detrimental effects of the environment by encouraging deforestation, which releases more CO2 into the atmosphere, and the draining of natural wetlands both of which increase the risk of flooding.

By protecting and improving the vast areas of soil currently under cultivation and maximising its productive capacity with advances in plant breeding, nutrient management, crop protection products and innovative application technology, we should be able to go a long way towards producing higher volumes of food which is healthier, safer and produced in a more environmentally friendly and sustainable manner.

Our aim is to use new and innovative technology to enable us, as leading manufacturers of crop sprayers, to produce machines which enable growers not only to apply crop protection products very accurately, but also to help protect soil structure by reducing soil compaction. Our links with the leading agricultural research bodies and our continuing dialogue with practical farmers and contractors helps us to produce leading edge crop sprayers which meet the needs of users around the world.

Micronclean

Micronclean, based in Skegness started as a local laundry and has been owned and managed by one family since the 1920’s. At that time, the business concentrated on hand finished laundry services focusing on quality, innovation, attention to detail and customer care. These attributes underpin all the products and services Micronclean now offer which range from our traditional hand finished linen through laundered garment services for both industrial clients and high-tech pharmaceutical companies throughout the UK to cleanroom consumables which are sold in the UK and overseas.

Our ongoing evolution started in the 1970’s when we introduced the first tunnel finisher into Skegness which had the benefit of drying garments using steam thereby doing away for the need for ironing. Tunnel finishers are now the industry standard way of drying garments. We also were the first to introduce Polycotton garments, now the predominant fabric for workwear.

During the 1980’s we built the first cleanroom laundry and we were the first laundry to adopt ISO9001.

The 1990’s saw the introduction of garment tracking and we were the first laundry to use Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology through which we track individual garments in our in-house developed Protrack system. We remain the only major laundry to scan garments both into and out of our sites. We were the first laundry to adopt ISO14001 environmental standard.

The building of Louth in the 2000’s saw the development of the first (and only) large scale ISO6 cleanroom laundry, Louth’s sortation system remains the most sophisticated in the UK. Alongside this we developed an innovative automotive paintshop garment washing process which remains the most effective for that environment. We achieved Risk analysis and Bio-contamination Control (RABC) accreditation, ISO14065, the first Laundry in the UK and still the only cleanroom Laundry to do this. We introduced a patented Mopping system and multipack syringe packs, both of which have genuinely changed the dynamic of the market.

The current decade has seen the introduction of our alcohol trigger sprays for our clean room consumables customers which have challenged 30 years of received wisdom and have transformed the market place. Our Alpha and Beta disinfectant range have allowed customers to move away from chlorine based solutions which have major problems with health and safety due to the vapour as well as the corrosive properties of chlorine based disinfectants.

Micronclean has a turnover of just over £25m and employs close to 450 people across the UK, the majority of these being based at our three main production sites, all based in Lincolnshire. We have an active Continuous Improvement programme driving business improvement for our customers.

Looking to the future we are confident of growth not only in the UK but also in export markets as we seek to leverage not only our laundered garment service and consumables sales but also use our unique laundry knowledge to deliver business opportunities in overseas markets in line with our mission statement.

We also attend several international congresses each years, this means that all of our sales team get to attend various conferences in European cities most years. Tillotts staff are all self motivated bright and intelligent, and mostly work unsupervised for the majority of the time, so trust and integrity are key qualities that we seek in all employees. We work with a lot of business partners, firms that provide support services, a good example is our logistics and storage partner, this partner is an expert in the pharmaceutical supply chain, by working closely with such partners we can be sure that our medicines are stored, managed and delivered to hospitals and pharmacies in perfect condition. One essential quality that everyone employed by Tillotts possesses is a passion for our work, a genuine interest in healthcare for patients with GI conditions

The pharmaceutical sector is governed by a voluntary regulatory scheme which also means that we work to high ethical standards.

No two days are the same, everyday brings new opportunities and challenges, because of this we do a lot of work place training and place much emphasis on keeping up to date with medical practice in the treatment of GI diseases. Teamwork is an essential part of the job, and although most people work unsupervised and on their own initiative we are very interdependent on each other, everyone plays their part so that the business as a whole is a success.

The pharmaceutical sector is at the forefront of technology and innovation, it is one of the most successful British industries, exporting more than we import. The work ranges from scientific research, product development and improvement through to high-tech manufacturing. The objectives of the industry is to improve health outcomes, despite what the media likes to portray in newspapers and films, nobody sets out to do harm, we are focused on improving lives. The fate of a pharmaceutical firm is very dependent on the success of the firms most recent pharmaceutical product, this drives innovation and means that all pharmaceutical companies are looking for the next new development. The range of roles in pharmaceutical companies varies from very scientific lab based R&D positions that attract introspective scientists through to PR and marketing positions that require out-going and dynamic communicators. Careers in pharmaceutical companies are life long, many people join in one role and move into new challenging positions as their careers progress. I began my career 30 years ago as a trainee medical sales representative, I am now the Managing Director of a dynamic and growing medium sized pharmaceutical company.

All of our pork is home reared and we buy in beef, lamb & poultry locally and butcher it ourselves. Our butchery team cure our own bacon and ham and produce many added value cuts and products including our BBC One Show Award Winning Lincolnshire Sausage. We have been working with the Lincolnshire CO-OP for over a year now, initially wholesaling our cooked ham and pork into their stores under the Uncle Henry’s brand and this year expanding our range to include Caramelised Onion Sausages, Lincolnshire Sausagesand our home-cured Traditional Short Back Bacon.

All of our efforts would not be possible without our dedicated team who are local people themselves and are essential to our business success. We recruit people who are passionate about food and our business. Over the years, we have established managers of the three core budget departments; shop, café and butchery. The staffing that is below management level is based around setting up full and part-time positions.

Training requirements are tailored to the individual at management level and our front of house team have an on-going customer service development training programme. Aside from staff training around our customer care requirements, we hold a team brief each morning to discuss any previous challenges and what’s happening throughout the day ahead. We are continually building staff product knowledge and are helped by suppliers coming into store for samplings. We also have our own monthly mystery shopper which is an invaluable tool for continuous training and development and provides a great opportunity to reward good service.

Our plan for this year, in order to grow our business further, is to focus on continuing to attract both new and also our regular loyal customers but also to promote the great value of our fantastic food offer to our customers. We are continuing to grow our image as a destination for all age groups and working with key partners such as Visit Lincoln over the past year is a key element in our strategic planning process as we continually work on achieving this.

Vertivore Farm

This year Vertivore has hit a big milestone; after two years researching and developing the concept of vertical farming the planning application for our first commercial scale site (in Crowland, Lincolnshire) has been approved. We anticipate starting construction late 2019, with the aim of being operational by 2020.

Our vertical farm has been designed to ensure consistent quality and improved taste. Each of our plants is treated to five-star accommodation throughout their lifespan. Bedded into the finest substrate our seeds begin their journey in a cozy germination chamber. Then, not wanting to cramp their style, our herbs and salads are transplanted into trays where they are remotely shunted and spaced. This allows them to spread their leaves and mature into the young plants they were destined to be.

Inside of the climate chamber, the crops enjoy the benefits of 'summer' all day every day. Under the glow of LED lights they are fed the perfect cocktail of nutrients, each tailored to their very own needs. And why stop at one layer? The trays are vertically stacked making optimum use of space, in fact, space enough for a micro-brewery

What is a Vertical Farm?

An efficient and productive vertically-arranged indoor growing facility using LED lighting and a climate controlled system to provide optimum crop growth.

A consistently high standard of fresh, healthy and sustainable produce can be supplied to the market 365 days a year.

Why is This Important?

With the global population expected to exceed 8.5 billion and the UK population forecasted to exceed 70+million by 2030, the strain on farming is worsening. Soil is becoming unsuitable for healthy crop production and space for agricultural land is running out. In the UK, we are experiencing warmer winters, drier summers and more extreme events which are affecting crop growth.

The environmental impact of current agricultural practices is huge, using around 70% of available freshwater, and with 95% of fruit coming from abroad, each item on the supermarket shelves travels approximately 1500 miles before reaching the end consumer.

The destruction of ecosystems and impact of pesticides is causing further damage to our world and the food we eat.

There is an urgent need for new innovative agricultural solutions to be propelled into the mainstream…

Benefits:

Grown & harvested 365 days a year, delivery available daily

Carbon footprint reduction through UK grown produce, reducing time in transit and time to reach the customer

Uses between 70-95% less water than traditional agricultural practices

The Water Management Alliance

The Water Management Alliance (WMA) is a group of like-minded Internal Drainage Boards (known as IDBs) operating in the Anglian Region. We are building resource and capacity in the Anglian region in order to meet the challenges of climate change, sustainable water and flood risk management. The WMA works closely with our IDB’s, partners, communities and individuals to secure new funding streams and deliver innovative approaches at a local level.

We welcome partnership approaches and aim to deliver value for money projects using local expertise and experience.

Did you know Internal Drainage Boards…?

date back some 900 years and are one of Europe’s oldest water management organisations.

have statutory powers to undertake flood defence and water management works.

aim to manage water levels and flood risk management for people and wildlife sustainably and aim to limit impacts of flood and drought within their drainage districts.

are collectively one of the biggest managers of freshwaters and wetlands in the UK.

manage drainage districts that cover 10% of the land in England and Wales.

manage and maintain over 500 pumping stations, 22,000 km of watercourse and numerous sluices and weirs for people and wildlife.

The Water Management Alliance works for and on behalf of other Flood Risk Management Authorities as well as community groups, NGO’s and landowners. We also deliver significant flood risk management benefits and enhanced environmental outcomes on the ground. Our members are all independent and democratically accountable statutory bodies who seek to protect some 548,000 hectares in East Anglia.

The WMA Eastern Drainage Boards include the Broads IDB, East Suffolk IDB and the Norfolk Rivers IDB.

South Holland:

This includes some of the most fertile arable land in the world and is widely recognised as the bread basket of Britain. The area is home to around 60,000 people, a thriving local economy and an increasingly popular tourist destination that attracts visitors from around the country. The area is both locally and nationally important and worth the cost of defending and protecting, now and in future.

Although the entire area is at considerable theoretical risk of river flooding and inundation from the sea, the actual risk is substantially reduced by the work that we do in partnership with Local Authorities, the Environment Agency and Natural England.

The area's full watershed catchment area draining to the Drainage District is the same as the Drainage District, which means that we can provide a better service than we might otherwise be able to: this is because we are not compelled to take surface water from outside the Drainage District that we have no control over. This gives us an advantage in being able to protect the people of South Holland and reduce the risk of flooding.

If you choose to work for the WMA or any of its Member Boards you will be joining an organisation which is striving to provide employees with a positive employment experience. Whether you work for us as a digger driver or as a member of the senior management team, there will be a considerable variety of challenges in your diverse workload and you will be offered real opportunities for career development.
